L-S finance director leaving

Already searching for an interim replacement for outgoing Superintendent Scott Carpenter, the Lincoln-Sudbury school board will have to fill yet another hole in its administration after finance director Michael Connelly took a position in another district.

Already searching for an interim replacement for outgoing Superintendent Scott Carpenter, the Lincoln-Sudbury school board will have to fill yet another hole in its administration after finance director Michael Connelly took a position in another district.

Connelly, who was hired at L-S a year ago, accepted an offer late last month to become the North Reading schools' director of finance and operations.

"It's unfortunate, the timing," said L-S school board Chairwoman Nancy Marshall. "But he's been endlessly gracious to the district and the committee."

Marshall added Connelly has agreed, for instance, to stay on in the district later into the summer so his end date is not too close to Carpenter's.

After posting Connelly's job last Sunday, Marshall said the board's aim is to have the next director in place sometime in early June.
